Hi good people of the internet,
I recently brough a brand new ZTE Blade Vec 4G and i wanted to replace the Android OS that came with the device before i start using it, but i hit a snag when trying to run the shell commands via USB.
I have been trying via my Ubuntu machine, but i also tried allitle in Windows, but i got the same result there.
So far ive been following this list (could not post the links, but its via the main "Installing Ubuntu for Devices" page:
Unlock the Android device
To install Ubuntu, you must first “unlock” the Android device bootloader.
Warning: Unlocking deletes all data from the device, including apps and other data. You may want to create a backup first.
You must first have enabled USB Debugging in the Android OS.
Boot the device into the Android bootloader:
$ adb reboot bootloader
Tip: When the device is booted into the bootloader the screen displays the green Android robot lying on its back with its front panel open and a highlighted Start menu item.
Verify the device is connected to your Ubuntu Desktop as follows:
$ fastboot devices
025d138e2f521413 fastboot
Unlock the device as follows:
$ sudo fastboot oem unlock
Accept the terms of unlocking displayed on the Android device.
Reboot the device to Android as follows:
$ fastboot reboot
Complete the first use Android setup steps, entering minimal information: Android and its data is about to be deleted during the Ubuntu install.

Ive only made it to highlighted point, but when i hit "sudo fastboot oem unlock" it just stops on < waiting for device >, and when i try to find the device i cant see it when in "Android system recovery mode".
Any help would be great as ive spent near 5 hours trying to do this now
I don't think it's possible to unlock the bootloader on your device yet. From what I've read, even the adb reboot bootloader method does not actually get you into fastboot mode. Replacing the OS with Ubuntu will not be an option because of this as well as other reasons.

Thank you for the reply. So how can i remove Android at all then? would it be better to try something like CyanogenMod or MIUI? I have also been looking at Firefox OS, but if i cant remove Android, then i cant really do much at all..
Just saw this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/soshphone-4g-zte-blade-vec-root-t2810210/page1
Guess i just need to make do with the unrooted Android for now..
Pretty much stuck for awhile. There might never be an option for it. Many phones never get the chance to have different OSes or even custom versions of Android. Hopefully that's not the case, but it's not uncommon.
Iv'e been looking around for a root for my device and I can't seem to find a root. Is there even a root for it yet?
Guys come on. Its been almost 4 months now and still no root. I just want to delete all the bloat ware off my device so that I can use it more.
Well I guess there isn't a root for my device. If anyone needs to root this device your out of luck.
Perfectly fine Android build per se; you want to change what?
You were joking, right? Going into the about/device and tapping on the kernel version lets you pick a ROM from microSD.
One supposes that you would use adb to make verify all your build assumptions are OK, grab Android developer kit and blobs on your development box of choice, and build your new improved ROM. Boot to glamour-shot portfolio FTW.
Separately, Internet reports are that Kingroot.net works, at least from the Windows side (perhaps after a little name tweaking from that side of adb resource names; see the perfectly serviceable P10A7100 note on Reddit. On the Android side I'm still looking at a spinner and '01%' root acquisition progress. But then I should give Kaspersky and Malwarebytes the day off while this is going on, right?
Hello,
New to the adb thing. I want to say first off, that this tablet has to be the worst POS I have even had. Its has 32 gb of memory but I can only use 6 of it for apps before it slows to a complete useless doorstop. Could anyone reccomend a good rom image?
I have the same issues. Can't believe they would sell such a POS! That's Best Buy a crap store that used to be one of the best.
Insignia NSP10A7100 rooting
Any luck finding more info on root for this device? I've only tried kingroot so far from the apk but no luck. Also trying to find more info on how to root manually (without a script) or how to write my own script? I've enabled developer options, enabled bootloader unlocking. I can run adb from my ubuntu box but adb reboot bootloader just reboots? I see the option when tapping kernal to update a .zip file but what file? I haven't seen any roms or recovery's for this device. Any help is appreciated!

I was playing around with adb and fastboot tonight and did learn a few things. I had to use "sudo fastboot flashing unlock" to get the bootloader unlocked. Whatever that switch is in developer options to unlock did not seem to unlock anything. I did a getvar all and the output showed it as locked. sudo fastboot with no options gave me the list of commands to use. After reboot there was a screen that warned about the bootloader being unlocked and that it was not safe. I thought it was going to be stuck there but it did finally reboot into a fresh system. I've got files with the output of getvar all and bugreport if any of that info would help anyone with the rooting. If anyone can point me to more research I'll continue to play with this.

I just got one and trying to access fastboot. I have model p10a7100. When I pick fastboot from recovery mode, I momentarily get resting android with "no command" and get recovery mode again. Because of low ram, I would like root access to install magisk for modules. Please explain your unlock method.

I have had no success trying to get root access. I only got the bootloader unlocked. I used adb to reboot into fastboot mode.

Teach us your adb method. I have tried everything and it won't enter fastboot mode. If I type adb reboot fastboot, it just bypasses fastboot and boots up the tablet to android.
Update: I entered the adb command adb reboot fastboot and I get a giant green screen with a walking android robot in the center. Then I lose contact with the tablet. Never saw that before.

That is what I did also although I used "sudo adb reboot fastboot". Still not sure if the sudo is required? The giant green screen means you are in fastboot mode now. Type "fastboot" at the terminal to see a list of commands. The one I used to unlock was "sudo fastboot flashing unlock_critical". Type "sudo fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" to find out if you are able to unlock the bootloader. This is as far as I got. Apparently I could now flash an image if I could find one that would be compatible. If you get any further or find one let me know.

Are you on Windows? I'm on Ubuntu. Not sure what would cause that. Maybe someone out there with more knowledge will chime in. Good luck.
Here is a link to a temp cwm recovery and root instructions for a nuvision 8 inch tablet. According to the post it might work on other intel based tablets. Disclaimer: You may brick your device. I still can't establish an adb connection to test this. I have adb with the tablet booted. I lose it in fastboot or recovery. I was able to unbrick my nuvision after 2 years of waiting for a method.

I was wondering if it might be a driver problem. You could try Virtual Box and run Ubuntu that way. I may try that cwm down the road. Thanks for the info.

Hi guys, this is my first time creating a thread at XDA. So if there's anything wrong please correct me, and I'm not a native english speaker so I'm sorry if my word is confusing .
I'm not responsible for any damage that will happen to your phone. So DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, so please backup your data first before continue.
Rooting process WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE so keep that in mind.
If your phone is below version 320, please update your system first at least until version 320.
READ CAREFULLY, skip a step and it might brick your phone.
* If you want to use TWRP and do more with it, go to THIS THREAD to flash TWRP and flash magisk file yourself.
THIS IS FOR INFINIX NOTE 7 (X690B) ONLY. If your phone is X690/X690C I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have such phone model .

********** PREPARATION **********
Extract the downloaded files in your PC
Open driverInstall.exe and install it.
Open Root folder, copy all the data to ADB_Fastboot folder.
Put Magisk APK to ADB_Fastboot folder and rename it to "magisk.apk".
In your phone, enable Developer Options.
At Developer Options, enable OEM Unlocking, enable USB Debugging, and set Default USB Configuration to File Transfer.
Plug your phone to your PC and run "cmd-here.exe" on your PC.
********** UNLOCK BOOTLOADER **********
If you already unlocked your bootloader, please skip this step.
In this step, your internal storage will be WIPED.
Type adb devices, there will be a popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing unlock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
Your phone is wiped so set it all up again and do number 5 at Preparation step again.
********** ROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_magisk.img.
Type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_empty.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
Your phone will reboot. After it goes to homescreen, type adb install magisk.apk.
Plug out your phone, connect to the internet, and open Magisk.
It'll shows a popup "Requires Additional Setup", tap OK.
Your phone will reboot itself and it's finally rooted.
* If you can't flash boot and vbmeta via fastboot, possibly because you're not installing the driver correctly or you haven't unlock your bootloader yet. So please do that step first.
********** UNROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_ori.img.
Type fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_ori.img.

Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing lock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
********** SYSTEM UPDATE **********
You need to flash your phone with clean stock ROM and SPFT. This is optional since almost previous system update is just about security and minor improvement. Use MTK Bypass Tool to flash it without DA file.
If you want to uninstall system apps, I suggest to do it via ADB since uninstalling via root app is modifying your system, dangerous and might brick your phone. IDK if you can do it either. Tutorial is on youtube, just search it yourself.

Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing unlock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
Your phone is wiped so set it all up again and do number 5 at Preparation step again.
********** ROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_magisk.img.
Type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_empty.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
Your phone will reboot. After it goes to homescreen, type adb install magisk.apk.
Plug out your phone, connect to the internet, and open Magisk.
It'll shows a popup "Requires Additional Setup", tap OK.
Your phone will reboot itself and it's finally rooted.
* If you can't flash boot and vbmeta via fastboot, possibly because you're not installing the driver correctly or you haven't unlock your bootloader yet. So please do that step first.
********** UNROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_ori.img.
Type fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_ori.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
********** RELOCK BOOTLOADER **********
UNROOT YOUR PHONE FIRST or else YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing lock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
********** SYSTEM UPDATE **********
Basically it's doable, but only if your system partition is unmodified. You just unroot your phone and update the system in Settings.
* Starting from firmware version X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210630V338, if you already unroot your phone and it still failed to update, you need to flash your phone with clean stock ROM and SPFT. This is optional since almost previous system update is just about security and minor improvement. Use MTK Bypass Tool to flash it without DA file.
If you want to uninstall system apps, I suggest to do it via ADB since uninstalling via root app is modifying your system, dangerous and might brick your phone. IDK if you can do it either. Tutorial is on youtube, just search it yourself.

Hi guys, this is my first time creating a thread at XDA. So if there's anything wrong please correct me, and I'm not a native english speaker so I'm sorry if my word is confusing .
I'm not responsible for any damage that will happen to your phone. So DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, so please backup your data first before continue.
Rooting process WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE so keep that in mind.
If your phone is below version 320, please update your system first at least until version 320.
READ CAREFULLY, skip a step and it might brick your phone.
* There's Re-lock Bootloader and System Update guide at the bottom, so read it if you need it.
THIS IS FOR INFINIX NOTE 7 (X690B) ONLY. If your phone is X690/X690C I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have such phone model .
Please download the files according to your current build number.
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-201014V320
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-201201V322

* Magisk version 23.0
********** PREPARATION **********
Extract the downloaded files in your PC
Open driverInstall.exe and install it.
Open Root folder, copy all the data to ADB_Fastboot folder.

At Developer Options, enable OEM Unlocking, enable USB Debugging, and set Default USB Configuration to File Transfer.
Plug your phone to your PC and run "cmd-here.exe" on your PC.

There's tutorial on hovatek forum, you can try it. I haven't tried that but if you want to try and error just go there and do it yourself.

IDK about custom rom, but you can try GSI ROM. AFAIK only AOSP based rom can boot on this device. Maybe i'm doing it wrong because i'm not a linux expert, so just flash it yourself using fastbootd method.
